FATF statements

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is an international body whose purpose is to develop and promote measures to combat money laundering, terrorist and proliferation financing. Switzerland is a member of FATF.

Through the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG), FATF also evaluates high-risk countries and imposes appropriate policies for member states by publishing statements. The ICRG also undertakes follow-up monitoring, thereby enabling FATF to provide information on deficiencies in combating money laundering and terrorist financing in certain countries and the necessary countermeasures by issuing further statements.

The MyFINMA platform enables FINMA to inform the financial intermediaries concerned about any statements issued by FATF regarding new countermeasures to be taken.
